l'ilE LONDON JOUtiNALS. DA Il,' Extracts from the Morning Papers, Jan. W, 1826. [NEW TIMELI REVENUE OF IRELAND.—It is with extreme pleasure that we lay before our, readers the official statement of the Irish Revenue for the year recently elapied.—(See another column of thelax.)—This account demonstrates, that,'not withstanding the' large repeal 9 and reductions of duties by different Acts of the last Session, the Revenue of Ireland for the year 1825 has vir tually exceeded that for 1824. Nor has the aug• mentation arisen from a single source, but it has embraced the most important branches of the Public Revenue. Thu Customs and Excise, as our readers know, cannot be fairly considered under their separate heads, owing to the trans fers of duty recently made from the latter' of these departments to the former t and it is there fore necessary to take them together, thus : Customs and Excise, 18 . 25 X 2,827,133 Ditto, - - 102.1 - 2,742,766 Increase in IR2 . £84,378 Th e Stamp Duties have diminished, from causes which it would be too long here to detail, but which manifestly cannot imply any falling off in the general resources of it country where the du ties on foreign importation and domestic con sumptiou are on the increase.—The Post Office exhibits an increase of 1847/. The Miscellaneous articles of 1824 included the payment of a large debt due to the Crown. Deducting this, the produce of the-year would be about 225,0001., whereas that of 1825 is above 268,0001. giving an increase here of above 40,000/. This view of the Irish Revenue strongly confirms the remarks made on Ireland in the Chancellor of the Exclie. quer's speech on opening his last budget—" No port of the King's dominions," said he, 64 holds out more powerful inducements to the application of capital, no soil would be more productive of valuable fruit, none would more gratefully re pay the labour of cultivation." The experiment of cultivating it is in a course of trial ; and the re sult is seen in these gratifying financial state ments. But this is not the only use to be made of the document before us. Let us see how it bears on the Finances of the United Kingdom. Mr. Robinson, in February last, estimated the total produce of the year, including the sums paid by the Trustees of Ilalt-pay, at 56,445,3701., su6:o - juently to which there was a return of duty on wines iii stock, which exceeded 1,000,000., and there was an omission to exact the duty on tobacco to the amount of 350,0006.; which two deductions would reduce the estimate to sonic what less than 55090,0001. Now the actual Produr(' the Revenue in England was 48,573,8191., and in Ireland 3,624,8001., and the payment by the Trustees, 4,470,3701., making altogether 56,1368 1 98g1. ; tio that the actual and estimated Income witl stand thus :---- Actual rothnle for 1825 • 4:311,1 ;1,909 Estinottatlitro (without deduction 9 456,40,370 • . !itirpho product or, More correctly— Actual Income for 1825 Eittithated ditto ( with deciactiona) 1:223,61 X 56,068,989 55,100,000 Surplus product . X 1,5110,9119 Again, if we compare the actual Income with the estimated Expenditure, we shall still find a surplus:— Actual Income Estimated 'l3spenditure J:50,668,909 66,001,842 Surplus income ,A1r7,147 rt is to be , observed, that Mr. Robinson only took credit, in ,his Budget, for a surplus of 443,5 1 281.: so that the acxual result is 2/3,6101, better than the original estimate , and this, be it remembered, in spite of all the, commercial fficultie, incident to the late unprecidented panic. Thus have we dkproved the false state• ments of a large defalcation in the Revenue of thelpar ; and have confirmed our own confident anticipation, that, when the Itptorns of th e I r k' ) Revenue shotild route to be wade known, they would place in a mott sztii4factory light the fivan• Ural state of the United Kingdom, LM 9 ILNING • POST.I french Papers to the 15tb instant, and the Etoile of Wednesday: reached us last night by Express.

According to these advice, the Porte had been secretly , informed, that disgusted with the deceptions and the policy of Austria, Alexander had resolved to occupy the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, which the Turks had never evacuated, and that an army of 85,000• Russians was to cross the Pruth early in the Spring, and to proceed to the banks of the Danube, where the Ultimatum of the Emperor would have been published. It was in contemplation and in anticipation of this event that the Porte, we are told, ordered the : war to he carried on in winter, and sent Envoys to the Morea to endeavour, if she could not put down resistance by foree, to obtain by negocia lion the pacification or rather the submission of Greece, before Russia had taken a decided step. [BRITISH PRESS.] The first day's w proceedings of the Catholic Association, with svhich we have been so long threatened, took plai:e on Monday. The session will be continued dui.ing fourteen days, that being the period beyond whichoccording to law, it cannot be extended. Some difficulty has oc cured in giving a name to this assembly. It is styled by the members of it simply 4 " a Catholic Association," in order that it may not be ex pressly a revival of the body suppressed by Act of Parliament. The. Morning Register of Dub lin the avowed organ of the party,' disdains, however, to adopt this subterfuge, and openly calls it 4 ' the Catholic Association." Some time ago Mr. O'Connell published his ophiion, "as lawyer," that the old Association might, with certain modifications, be legally revived, 4 ' not only in name but in reality." From this opinion he has, on cool reflection, deem ed it expedient to withdraw ; but .as his object is still the same, he hopes to at tain it with security by, quibbling with the indefinite article. The proceedings were chiefly relative to the future regulation of the business of the Association. Mr. O'Connell, as usual, made half the speeches, and Mr. Sheil delivered one of such a length, that the Dublin Papers prudently postponed the publication ,of three-fourths of it till the day following, when they can print it correctly from the Learned Gen tleman's own manuscript. Among the other va rieties of the day was the " under-growl" of " honest Jack Lawless." Mr. Shell in vain raved about the " fiendlike spirit" which is ut work among the Catholics. Lawless persisted in his intention of bringing the conduct of Mr. O'Connell again and again before the Associa-1 Lion, until he succeeded in bringing" Mr. O'Con nen back to himself." It is easy to perceive, from the display of Monday, that this Catholic Ao. elation, composed as it is of such discordent parts, will, like all the other efforts of the Ca tholics themselves, only have the or,ct of rernov. ing, all chance of success further than ever from their reach. f:rnc trams.] The Catholics of Ireland have opened their new Parliament, of which, from respect for the w, they are to limit the session to one fortnight. We should augur not much good or mischief from this new congress of political and reliaktl4 111 11. contents, but that the everlasting and unendu. ruble Messrs. Shin! and O'Connell have taken the lend in the proceedings, and, like other ill. omened birds, fill the mind with sinister antici. pillion. it is, on the face of it, a palpable ab surdity, that these men should mark their most deliberate efforts in favour of a great national and legislative measure by the furious invectives against the people and their representatives, through whom atone it can be carried into a law, and should engage as their chief instruments in advancing the cause throughout Ireland, where,it has long been triumphant, the Popish priesthood-- that every order of beings from whom, if the laity had common sense orjudgment, they would sepa rate themselves, so far as politics were concerned, for ever. The Popish Church is, we repeat, and always will be, an object of inextinguishable fear to nil tonscientious and reflecting Protestants. The Church'of Rome, with its pretensions to in. fallibility, and its meddling, encroaching, and intriguing. spirit, is the true and sole obstacle to Roman, Catholic limanciontion. 1 t is tin un changeable and Intractable church : it tolerates tie freedom, potiticni or tobroi; the priests not only do interfere, through the medium of coefes sion, and exhortation, in nit worldly coat ters which their areprehengive ingenuity eau COnileel, how.. ever, remotely, with the interests of the !Wilds!' Church ; - but if they are honest bondsmen to their holy despot, they tnnst interfere , where cover the opportunity is afforded them.— Such men, therefore, we Protestants cannot trust. We have ourselves been grossly mibinter preted in the opinions we have publkhed with regard to them. We have been charged with recommending emancipation, because it would render the priesthood hi s Itoinan C4tholic. We end could have said, no such thing. O u r o rn p e i a n tt, i f on has been, and it remains nnshalten, that the admission of Cetholio generally to ollice, would tend to make the body at large less itonnbb, by creating in the minds of Catholic laymen It novel and immediate interest in th e COUVII 111 0 y}rul by withdrn wing them gradually from the domination of thoir priests: [ManNiNG ifintALIY,J We obsorved -a ielter short. tiara bins e i n n , Morning Paper. profeptimr tO he written by " a Middietuox Magistratti.," lartientinpilhe frequency anti n n of Conithittals by the London Magis.

To takE from Justices of the Peace one main feature of that which gave the title to their office appears an anomaly upon the face of it. Besides, in more than half the cases, that ,come before Magistrates, they are, the most useful arbitrators, by allaying angry feelings, reconciling disputants., and thus, pre venting litigation ; whereas,, if parties thus ag grieved had no rescource but by indictment, the business of the Grand Juries—in London and Middlesex at least, would be more than doubl ed, and the same evil, but much more enhanCid would exist upon the apprehension of a defend ant upon a Bendr warrant, as now exists through that of a Magistrate. In the former case, com mittal, without double the bail required in the latter, follows as a matter of course, with all the train of fees to the Jury, the clerk of the peace, the crier s and the whole train of such like; whereas, before the Magistrate, differences of the kind we allude to are generally compromised, or personal recognizance accepted where sureties cannot readily be found. Besides, though many Of the cases i n question are of a trifling nature they are far from being all so, but many of them arise from anti are ad'ompanied by a degree of violence and personal danger, which renders instant protection from the law indispensably necessary. To tell a man who has been half murdered, and who is in apprehension of further violence, that he may go, if he is alive, ,a month hence, to Hicks's Hall, and indit t the' assailant, or perhaps a mob of assailants, would be a mockery. So far, there fore, from wishing to see these matters takeu out of the hands of Magistrates, we think it would be as well if they had some more summary and effectual power' of dealing with most of them than they at present possess. Most of the assaults and trilling disputes of that nature, which come be fOreMagistrates,mightbe easily and s a ti s f actor il y disposed of by the infliction of almall fine proper tioned'to the nature of the. offence and the ability of the' party; and if. in. addition to this a more kumakitry mode were established of making re eognitaM•es and sureties available, would tent much . to lessen the number of such cases, while the trouble, the risk, and the expence 'which now dater.7so. many people from being sureties for their neighbours and acquaintances would be ob viall-'4% Would it not be 4ulvisable that instead of the antiquated form of entering into a bond in IP/. or 201. to the King, a forfeiture,' if necessary, of as many shillings should be incurred by any man breaking the pence after. he is bound not to do so, and repeating the forfeiture on each repe tition of the offence, and the amount made reco verable at once,. and applied for the benefit of the injured party 1' .Something.of this kind might,.we iihOUld• think, , be advantageously substituted for committal 'to prison in such cases, where parties often suffer a ten:limes. greater punishment before trial than any Court would award for their of fence were they found guilty.

EXEMPLARY HONESTio---011e Louis PIN'EL, a respectable trader, at Carcassone, in the Smith of France, being obliged at the beginning of the Revolution to receive payment from his debtors in assignats, found' himself under the necessity of paying his own creditors in the same sort of cur, rency. Still he felt it to be an injustice, and as his death he charged his son to make up , the dif• ference, if ever it should he in his power. The son married, and his wife united her labours mak his, to save money enough for the payment of those debts of conscience, although in law they were under no obligation whatever to do so. However, the husband died in 1823, without having been able to get together the sum neces sary for this.purpose. His widow has been more successful, and has just issued a notice that she will pay, by instalments all her late father-in law's debts of the above description, together with interest on them from the year 1793 AMERICAN JUSTICE.-..There are some amusing stories told about the mode of bringing justice home is every man's door, in the country.

She was then taken home to her miserable a partment, in which Was no article of furniture, exCept an old chair and a three-legged table.

Having arranged " certain family, matters regarding himself and sons, the letter proceeds—" On the sth of July, Mr. Collman - sailed from Rangoon on board the ship Lotus, Captain Charles Brown, ft. N.; and on the 23d, the pilot was taken on board, near the mouth of the river Hooghley. At eight o'cloCk, p.m., the vessel- anchored on the sand. heads, out of sight of land, as is the custom gale came on, and - it was found that the vessel was drifting, when 'they veered away fifty fa thoms of icable and' let go -another anchor but they neither'of them held, and the vessel drifted on to a sand bank. Sail.was set, but the rudder had been knocked off, and she would not pay off. At dawn, on the 23d of Joey, they saw Ed.d monstone's Island, hearing W.N.W.,' distant about 6 miles. The gig was washed away, a heavy sea was running and breaking over her in every di. rection. The long boat, cutter, and jolly-boar, were hoisted out, and anchored to windwardv while the three masts were cut away. The boatr then attempted to reach the ship, but the long boat only succeeded. Having taken a f ew m en on board, who jumped off" the _wreck, the three boats were driven . by the wind a considerable way off, when imagining, on being assured that no persons remained on board the wreck (which proied afterwards to be an erroneous impres sion or report), they came to Calcutta, Oa there swore to this account before 'the , tratesh The passengers were----Mr. Lieut. Brownrigg, Captain Burrowes, Capt. Fin' nucane, Lieutenant Al‘Carthy, and many seamen and native soldiers. This account was of course credited, and the friends of the passenge r ' gave up all hopes of their friends having ed the wreck ; but we now find that the rLst of the people on board got on heo..eoeks, or COOP'S , with the exception of our poor friend and sail-maker, and . landed in safety.
